MacBook Pro :: Can't Get Hidden Files To Show In Finder
Jun 4, 2014I have tried multiple methods to get hidden files to be shown in Finder including the Terminal command:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
I have also tried using Revealer and still no hidden files are shown.
Using Mavericks 10.9.x (latest version)
Can't find the com.apple.finder file anywhere in Library either.

Mar 30, 2012I have this weird and annoying problem with "show in finder".I used at one point that "defaults write -g NSFileViewer string different.plist.than.finder" to try to change the default finder, it didnt work, so I just "defaults delete -g NSFileViewer". So this is out of the way, I have no NSFileViewer in any file whatsoever.Now, for the weird stuff. If I use "show in finder" from the dock, nothing happens(neither cmd-click, of course). If I use it in safari's download list, it OPENS the file. If I use it in iTunes, on media or apps, it WORKS properly, it shows the item in the finder. If I use it in Xcode on a file in my project, it just switches to that file(so, basically, it just opens it just like Safari).
I tried deleting the dock and finder plist files in Preferences, didnt work. If I login with a different account it works properly. I really dont want to delete the whole preferences folder. I REALLY dont xD.I'm really stuck here, since all apps try and open the file(except Dock that does nothing) but iTunes works properly.if I use "Reveal in finder" in Spotify, it also opens the file(it starts to play in iTunes).if I use "Reveal in finder" in Forklift it just opens it as well.

OS X Mavericks :: How To Copy Folder From Hidden Library Folder That Is Not On Startup Drive
Jun 5, 2014I have a hard drive on my 2008 MacPro that's problematic and so I bought a new drive and installed Mavericks on it and am booting just fine on the new drive. There is however, one folder in the Library/Preferences folder that I need to copy over to the new drive. All the tricks for accessing the Library folder work great on the start up drive, but I can't seem to access the Library folder on the old drive (both drives in the MacPro as it has 4 drive bays), even though the drive will mount. How can I see that Library folder on the old drive? Note while I can mount the old drive, I can't boot to it.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: How To Show All Folders In Finder, Terminal Command
Apr 29, 2012When using finder and browsing through folders, it will only show me a list of recent folders. I use Lion. If I want to see all the folders or open up a less recent folder, I have to click "show all" at the top right hand corner. It gets tedious when I'm dragging and dropping files to different folders when I have to constantly click "show all" just to see the folders I want. Is there a way to override this function through the terminal? Is there a command I can use?

OS X Mavericks :: How To Show Hidden Files On NTFS Drive
Aug 24, 2014I have some files on a NTFS drive (from a Wiindows 7 PC), the files were hidden. So ... I followed these instructions:
Batch FileXamine [URL] Choose your drive- on the right panel chose “privileges”- chose “preset” –> “public share”(which is chmod 755 for folders and does a chmod 644 on files)- Check “apply to enclosed..”- Apply Permissions To enable hidden files/folders in finder windows:Open FinderOpen the Utilities folderOpen a terminal windowCopy and paste the following line:defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YESPress returnNow hold ‘alt’ on the keyboard and right click on the Finder iconClick on Relaunch(DID NOT RUN) to revert backdefaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO (DID NOT RUN)
After I applied the above I could see the folders and files, although the folders appear as light blue, not the usual blue folders we in OS X, and the files are lighter as well.
When I select 'get info' under 'sharing and permissions' I see 'you can only read', no other options are available.
However, I am able to transfer the files to my desktop, although they remain light blue. Also, when I select 'get info' (on the transferred files on the desktop) under 'sharing and permissions' 'my user name' 'read & right' is enabled. But the folders still appear blue (and the files are much lighter).
I assume if I run the Command: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
The folders and files will no longer be visible.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: When Opening A Folder, It Takes Ages To Show The Files
Feb 27, 2012I have a 2012 Macbook Pro running Lion (as you can probably guess!), with a 512Gb SSD and 8Gb Ram. Its a pretty fast machine and i'm really happy with the way it runs, however when I open a folder to view files, it opens and shows a blank folder and then I get the black pinwheel in the bottom left/right hand side and I have to wait for sometimes over 30 seconds before the files in that folder are shown!?
One thing to point out is that it doesn't always happen and its not restricted to particular folders. I can open a folder and it will show the files straight away, however I can re-open that folder and it will take up to 30 seconds to show the files...
I've tried rebooting and running nothing, but it still happens. And I have also tried the normal disk utilities to check permissions, etc and I think these are fine too..
